Posted by Chris | October 22, 2013 | Corporate & Incorporation

Honest, Knowledgeable, and Thorough

I first met and hired Steve in 2011 and have hired him several times since. He's helped my startup with a number of different types of corporate legal work. Steve is hard-working, communicative, and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to any entrepreneur seeking help with contracts, terms, incorpora...tion, or stock.

Posted by anonymous | June 10, 2013 | Landlord & Tenant

Very helpful and knowledgeable about Landlord Tenant Law

He provided answers to all questions regarding the legal issues of the renting mess I had gotten myself into, and helped steer me to a legal option that would limit my future financial liability.

Landlord/Tenant

Mr Ayr was very responsive and helpful in his handling of my case. His service was direct, informed and quick. No delays. Everything up front. A bit of fresh air.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
